Day1 (nap6)

Nap6

4:32 PM

Went to the store & got "lunch" before this nap. I ate around 3:00pm, and was able to nap @ 4:00pm. As is obvious by the time of writing, I got up on time. I even seem to be falling asleep better during this phase of the experiment than I did last time. This is pleasantly surprising, as last time I tried the experiment I never seemed to be able to fall asleep when nap times rolled around. I attribute the change to my increased calm about the process.

Looks like, given the scores, this is a fairly mediocre period (post-nap5). Not great, but not bad either. I would classify it as slightly less than "normal" state (same time in the evening, but with mono. sleep).

4:48pm: I just remembered that this will be the longest AWAKE period of my day. I don't have another nap until 9:30pm, which means approximately 5hrs from when I last woke from a nap. On the bright side, late-night naps will occur much more frequently and will likely seem better :)

5:17pm: I have just had a moment of confusion (forgot what I was going to get out of my bedroom). I remembered fairly quickly, but I thought I should document it anyway. I have a sneaky suspicion that it may have been an effect of sleep-dep. However, it may have just been a simple mishap; such a thing has happened once or twice in my life :)
